how to tell axle type

Don't forget the jeep used left threads on the driver side wheels.

A acetylene torch getting the nut cherry red will usually allow you to spin the nuts off.

seriously? southpaw threads.... well that could be the issue right there....

No oxy unfortunately, but turning them the right way should help, have to take a closer look to make sure.

The studs will have an normally "L" on their end if they are left handed. It may no longer be visible if rusty enough.

They were pretty rusty, when I looked at the thread I could see it though, took a couple minutes to get the tire off when I turned things the correct way.

Thanks again Wes... hmm.. WesKipedia... sorry random thought.
